Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists (ANS), the largest neurosurgery practice in New Jersey, has joined Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey’s (Horizon BCBSNJ) network of physicians. Horizon BCBSNJ has the largest network of doctors in the state.
“With the widespread occurrences of traumatic brain and spine injuries, stroke and other neurovascular incidents – and as increasing numbers of patients require expert neurosurgical care – we are now making our medical expertise more widely available to patients throughout New Jersey,” said Ronald P. Benitez, MD, president of ANS. “As one of the most advanced practices in the country, we have always led the way with game-changing brain, spine and neurovascular care. Now, we’re changing the game again by making that care more easily accessible and affordable to all Horizon BCBSNJ members.”
Since its founding in 1958, ANS has specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system – the delicate and complex command, control and communication network in the body that comprises the brain, spine and neurovascular system. ANS focuses on innovative treatments that don’t necessarily involve surgery. And when they do – and it’s possible – pioneering minimally invasive treatment strategies are used.
“We are pleased that ANS has joined Horizon’s provider network, giving our members another option for high-quality, affordable neurosurgical, brain and spine care,” said Robert J. Franzoi, vice president for Healthcare Management at Horizon BCBSNJ. “Horizon is leading the transformation of health care in New Jersey to improve quality, affordability and the patient experience, and ANS has demonstrated a commitment to achieving those goals. Working together, Horizon and ANS are making sure our members get the care they need.”
